# API overview
|
||
|
||
Programmatic uploads and batch jobs for self-hosted Songs2VID. Generate your API key under **Dashboard → Settings → API access**.
|
||
|
||
Keys start with `s2yt_live_` and are shown once at creation.
|
||
|
||
## Authentication
|
||
|
||
Send the key on every request:
|
||
|
||
```http
|
||
Authorization: Bearer s2yt_live_your_key_here
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Requirements:
|
||
|
||
- `S2VID_EDITION=selfhosted` (Compose sets this by default)
|
||
- YouTube channel connected (sign in with Google OAuth that includes YouTube scopes)
|
||
|
||
OAuth setup: [Getting started](../getting-started.md) and Google’s [OAuth 2.0 for Web Server Applications](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server). YouTube scopes/API: [YouTube Data API Overview](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started).
|
||
|
||
## Rate limits
|
||
|
||
Self-hosted editions use a very high per-account ceiling (effectively unlimited for normal automation). You will rarely see `429`.
|
||
|
||
If a limit is hit, the response is **429** with `retryAfterSeconds` and a `Retry-After` header. See [Endpoints — HTTP errors](./endpoints.md#http-errors).
|
||
|
||
## Choosing a flow
|
||
|
||
### Recommended: two-step (especially 5+ audio files)
|
||
|
||
1. Upload each file with `POST /api/v1/upload`
|
||
2. Create the job with `POST /api/v1/jobs` (JSON paths)
|
||
|
||
This avoids huge multipart bodies. Self-hosted max batch size is **100** tracks per job.
|
||
|
||
### One-shot batch: small packs only
|
||
|
||
`POST /api/v1/jobs/batch` accepts one cover image and a few audio files in a single multipart request. Large bodies often fail with:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
failed to parse body as FormData
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Prefer two-step for albums or long tracklists.
|
||
|
||
### Multipart tips
|
||
|
||
- Do not set `Content-Type` manually for multipart; the client must include the boundary
|
||
- In Postman: Body → form-data; each audio field key must be exactly `audio` (type File)
|
||
- If a file field shows a warning, re-select the file from disk
|
||
|
||
## Job lifecycle
|
||
|
||
1. Create job → status `PENDING`
|
||
2. Worker picks items → `ENCODING` → `UPLOADING` → `COMPLETED` or `FAILED`
|
||
3. Job rolls up to `COMPLETED`, `FAILED`, or `PARTIAL`
|
||
|
||
Poll with `GET /api/v1/jobs/:id`. Full status tables and response shapes: [Endpoints — Poll job status](./endpoints.md#poll-job-status).
|
||
|
||
## Discovery
|
||
|
||
```http
|
||
GET /api/v1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Returns the endpoint list and requirements (no auth).
|
||
|
||
## Next
|
||
|
||
See [Endpoints](./endpoints.md) for curl examples covering upload, jobs, layouts, watermarks, playlists, batch, resolutions, categories, and errors. For composition concepts (templates, blur, fine-tuning, fonts), see [Video editing](../video-editing.md).
